"I very much" wish politicians, pundits,officials, anyone, inserting 'very much' immediately after the personal pronoun, would STOP IT NOW. They seem to feel it lends some kind of gravitas to their sentiments. But it just sounds pompous and wordy.

Am I alone, or does anyone Know What I Mean??
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
